Everyone noticed at this point that Hallie Morgan seemed to be absent.
A reporter quietly asked from behind, "Why hasn't Hallie arrived yet?"
The director looked around and said, "Oh, she has a rather mysterious way of appearing."
"Really?" Ruby glanced at the director, who seemed to be speaking up for her sister. "I was not aware of any new aspects to the booting ceremony. Would there be any surprises today?"
The director replied, "Just wait and see."
Inside, Ruby sneered, thinking Hallie might be planning to scare everyone with a ridiculously made-up face.
But suddenly, someone noticed something rising from behind.
"Look," a reporter exclaimed, "Hallie is coming from above!"
